| MaxwellGT2000 said: One more thing the worldwide release of TvC basically outsold the original Japanese version pretty much week one, if you combine sales they're at around 240k sales , the average Wii game (built from the ground up) breaks even around 200k to 250k and thats when the game isn't a 2D fighter which are significantly cheaper to develop because you don't have to build as many assets or as much content. |
Quick aside, but TVC also probably made back most of it's R&D investment from the arcade release. It would've been profitable from day one at home, since the arcade release was literally a Wii chipset in a JAMMA board.
